Word analysis

Every day I look at Wordle Bot to analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.

Yikes, that was a difficult question! I didn’t even start off badly. LOSER left me with two yellow boxes and only 51 words. I wanted to juggle these letters and BLOAT turned the L and O into green, but I was out of new letters. FLOCK reduced the remaining solutions to just three, but FLOOD was the wrong guess. All I could think about at this point was FLOWN and luckily it was the Wordle!

Today’s Wordle etymology

The word “flew” is the past participle of “fly,” which comes from the Old English verb flēoganwhich means “to fly, to fly, to move through the air.” This in turn has roots in Proto-Germanic fleuganąwhich means “to fly” or “to float through the air.” Related words are found in Old Norse (fljuga), Old Saxon (Fliohan) and Gothic (us-flaugjan).

The “-n” ending in “flyn” is a result of the strong verb inflection patterns in Old English, where many verbs formed their past participle with a “-n” suffix, particularly in verbs with vowel changes like “fly.” ” (compare “blown” with “blow” or “grown” with “grow”).
